Check out these cheeky earrings with wit to spare from designer Susan Gould. The set indicates how so much of what you hear goes "in one ear" and "out the other" (perfect for airplane rides, when that passenger next to you won't stop talking about their remodeling project). Or as the Bride -- When you are tired of all the suggestions and stress that comes with planning a wedding. Images are magnified under glass crystal domes with silver plated brass trim and an antitarnish finish. Earrings and posts are silver plated brass, and nickel free. Handmade in San Francisco.

Saying 'I do'Here's the latest reality television casting update for reality programming for two new proposed series.The word "proposed" seems to be a key theme with both of these ideas being pitched to me by LMNO Casting Agency.Both these shows are intended for broadcast on the cable network for women WE TV.*

There's only one catch: You have to let your parents, and your soon to be in-laws take charge of the whole wedding.

Again, ideally, the producers would like to shoot the series in the Southern California area and are particularly interested in couples getting married this spring.

So what do you think of the paper gown.... No, I'm not talking about the one you wear in the hospital with the back open for everyone to see your .... errr birthday suit! Rather, I'm talking about the "You only get to wear it one time wedding gown". Think about it; the cost; the planning, the picking it out and all the questions about the "dress." Want to make people really talk? Try buying and wearing the Disposable Wedding Gown designed by Tuija Järvenpää, a Finnish designer who is more interested in creating disposable products than in making them permanent.

The wedding gown is made of shiny translucent white paper and can be styled with various prints, ornamental cut-in patterns and folds. It is designed for one-time use only, thus perfect for a wedding. After the event, it can be recycled or thrown away.

The disposable wedding gown was introduced in 2005 in conjunction with an exhibition at the Kunsthalle Helsinki. where a number of couples took part in a wedding ceremony and said "I do" in front of a marriage clerk. Each bride wore one of the dresses made of paper designed either by visual artist Maria Duncker or designer Tuija Järvenpää. The event was a success and nowthe disposable wedding dress is vying for a larger place in the marketplace.

For those of you who are obsessed with "Hello Kitty," you'll be pleased to know that the Daiichi Hanyu hotel chain in Japan has begun offering Hello Kitty Princess Kitty wedding packages. Your ceremony can include "Hello Kitty" and "Dear Daniel" character escorts (best man and maid of honor) for the ceremony. How cool is that?

The first-ever legally valid MTR Hello Kitty ream Wedding took place February 2007, at the MTRHong Kong Station.Witnessed by relatives, friends and MTR passengers, bridegroom Jamie and his bride Horlick (who was dressed in the first-ever Hello Kitty wedding gown, jointly designed by the MTR Corporation, Sanrio and Wonderful Arts, (the bride's wedding gown was filled with Hello Kitty patterns made of Austrian crystals.) ) with their bridesmaids and groomsmen, boarded the first-ever MTR Hello Kitty Wedding Train and traveled to the MTR Hong Kong Station. The wedding train was specially designed for the occasion with images of Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel dressed as little cupids covering the train body and compartments. The interior was decorated with flowers and ribbons.

Upon arriving at their destination, the couple was carried by a pair of rickshaws, amid cheers from MTR passengers,towards the ceremonial venue at MTR Hong Kong Station. Led by the best man Dear Daniel and bridesmaid HelloKitty, the coulple proceeded to Hong Kong Station, which had been transformed to a wedding hall. Under the witness of the Civil Celebrant - Mr. Samuel Chan (solicitor), Hello Kitty, Dear Daniel, friends and relatives, (as well as MTR passengers) Jamie and Horlick were married.

The average price for a ceremony where all female guestscontinually exclaim "kawaii !!!" is 2M yen (40 people). And if you are really into pink, above is a sample of a Hello Kitty Wedding Dress (which would probably work well as a bridesmaid dress : ).
